  My first impression was that the place was very dimly lit, to the point that it was almost like sitting in the dark. The only light in the dining room was outside light coming in through the window or the light from the kitchen in the back. Turns out they didn't have the lights on and didn't bother to turn them on when we came in. The interior felt very old and outdated. The bench on my side of the booth felt like it was going to drop me on the floor. The restrooms were closed so we had to go to the end of the block to use the restrooms at another restaurant.
  
  When I went to order, I asked the girl at the counter how big their garlic knots were. Her answer: "Not big, but not tiny." Against my better judgment I ordered them anyway and was rewarded with burned garlic knots. They only had one fork in the whole place for my family of four. When I asked they had to go down the street to get more. When she brought them back, she just left them on the counter without telling us they were there, so I had to go up and get them myself.
  
  The problem was the place was staffed by 4 teenage girls under 16. As you can see, the service was horrible. Pizza was mediocre at best, so it wasn't like the food outweighed the service.
  
  It's too bad, because we like to support local family-owned businesses. Unfortunatley, there wasn't much here to support.
